The insufferable 2017 iMac and it's Radeon Pro 575 Graphic

Retina 5K, 27-inch, 2017

Radeon Pro 575 4 GB

When I purchased this Computer due to the Warning pre-Legion that my 2013 Hoss-wagon I had was gonna be obsolete, the guy at the local Simply Mac store, (Formally a locally owned store here in Nashville that was called “MacAuthority”) told me it was never gonna get any Warcraft issues, because he was a Horde Player too. Well, That Legion loading bar arrived, and Like a lot of us, I have studied the muscles on the Fel-Demon from the Opening Cinematic-guy and the Anduin- Animie Hair-dad guy more than I care to.
BFA loading screens aren’t as slow, but along with Legion Dalaran hearthstone, It is the Worst in the newly refurbished Epic Ashran BGs where I still get suck. This can be so slow that I Sometimes miss the health stones before they evaporate, BG food awesome players will provide, and any other buffet-Style freebies that are available pre-battle-only, such as changing any talents, one might favor in a specific BG over another.

SSD or Fusion Drive? If the latter, you might wanna invest in an external SSD. WoW is dog-slow from rotational hard drives due to APFS + CASC design.

Hmm Not sure why that post was uploaded, must have clicked something by mistake, but thanks for your reply. Good news is, I fixed the issue by removing that old computer from my office entirely and getting a much better 2019 computer. Now when I use my Dalaran Legion hearthstone, I am in the the blue bar so very little, it’s almost like it never even occurs. It also has fixed the similar long drawn out issue with Ashran’s loading in, as well.
Now, if I could just stop this ungodly DISCONNECTION LOOP on my main character… this is absolutely horrible. Yes I Have to log in to a different character to stop the loop, yes, switching characters and relogging into my looping character only resolves the DC loop 70% of the time. It mostly happens in Battlegrounds, after i do something such as rush an opponent, or drop out of flight form, and into battle. yes, it started before I switched to this new computer. Yes I hate it. And seems to be an unaddressed/Mystery issue on the Forums.
